Wang Xiujuan began to learn to grow herbs, her family was big, and she directly set aside a piece of land as her herb planting site, right next to the allicin production, and when she was busy, someone walked in with Lai Pozi.

"Sissy and her milk are busy, come on, come on, you let me do it for you." After Lai Pozi came in, she eagerly snatched the small medicine hoe in Wang Xiujuan's hand.

Wang Xiujuan hurriedly dodged away and refused: "This thing is different from farming, don't spoil good things, let it go, I'll do it later, what are you doing here?" ”

Lai Pozi explained embarrassedly: "This, thanks to your blessing, the business of the pastry shop is doing well, but this business is really good." ”

She stopped and didn't speak, waiting for Wang Xiujuan to ask, but Wang Xiujuan knew the other party too well, so she just didn't speak, sat on the side and looked at her quietly.

"There are too many orders, and there are not enough people at home, so I can't be busy, so I thought about asking Xixi her milk, do you have any good solutions."

Lai's pastry is indeed famous in Jingzhou, and it is effective to go up and down, and people who like it outside in the palace will naturally like it.

"You want to expand your business?" Wang Xiujuan asked.

Lai Pozi shook her head, "I understand that the business can do so well thanks to the help of your family, and I am not greedy, as long as I earn enough food and clothing for the family, now the children are also going to school, and the family has saved up a house and bought it." If the business expands, we won't be able to keep it. ”

Wang Xiujuan raised her eyebrows, it was not surprising that Lai Pozi was so sober, but she didn't expect to be so content, she thought that the other party was looking for her to get ideas on how to expand the pastry shop.

"And what do you think?"

Lai Pozi put her hands on her knees, sat on the stool and said: "You also know that our pastries are expensive, and those who can afford them are those high-ranking officials and nobles, and people come to buy them, can I refuse?" The queue is all to give face to our little people. ”

Wang Xiujuan nodded and motioned for her to continue.

Lai Pozi continued: "I actually don't want to take so many orders, not to mention anything else, I'm really too busy, but I don't dare to refuse others, so I want to ask you for an idea." ”

Wang Xiujuan thought for a while and concluded: "So you don't want to expand the scale, but want to be more streamlined?" ”

Lai Pozi nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, that's what I meant." ”

"This is easy to do, if you raise the price a little more, fewer people will naturally buy it."

Lai Pozi exclaimed: "Is it still going up? Let's sell it for five taels of silver. ”

One mention refers to the small square box made by Lai Chunsheng wrapped in paper and put into the frame, and the pastry is only about five taels.

"If you don't raise the price, how can you refuse people, you take this order and don't accept that one, no matter what your reason is, won't you indirectly offend people?"

"It's much easier to raise prices, although people don't lack so much money, but no matter how delicious this pastry is, people won't come to buy it every day, at least half of the people can be less, and you won't make less." Wang Xiujuan said.

Lai Pozi frowned and thought for a while, "Then Xixi's milk, you see, how much is the right rise?" ”

"It's useless to rise too little, just go up to ten taels."

"Poof-" The tea that Lai Pozi drank in her mouth was directly frightened and squirted out.

"Ahem, half a catty, ten taels?" This is eating pastry, this is eating gold!

No matter how precious the materials they use, they are not worth the price.

"W-is this going to work?" She has some weakness of heart

Wang Xiujuan explained to her, "This pastry is even eaten by the people in the palace, if you sell it cheaply, the palace will be unhappy, don't worry, someone will buy it." ”

Lai Pozi thought about it and decided to listen to Wang Xiujuan, "Okay! Just do as you say, then I will leave first, and there is still something waiting for me at home. After saying that, he got up and walked out numbly. After sitting for a while, I was smoked by garlic.

"The legs and feet are quite neat." Wang Xiujuan also stood up and took her small medicine hoe and squatted in the medicine field to work.

……

Bai Yunliang Mansion.

"Your Majesty also trusts Ning Changrong too much, right? Stayed for him to eat before, were the two of them discussing this? ”

"Your Majesty actually gave Ning Changrong such an important errand as revising the law, why is he a person who has no fame?"

Originally, when several people were discussing around Bai Yunliang, Bai Yunliang was still calmly drinking tea, and when he said that Ning Changrong was not famous, he glanced at that person lightly.

Ning Changrong has no fame, and Bai Yunliang is just a showman.

This person reacted immediately, and hurriedly apologized: "Lord Bai is different from Ning Changrong, how can he be compared to you." ”

"That Ning Changrong doesn't understand anything, you help me keep an eye on it, don't help him, I'll see what charter he can come up with." Bai Yunliang said lightly.

Someone gave up: "Don't worry, Lord Bai, we are all busy ourselves, who has time to help him?" Let's wait and see what he laughs at. ”

Inside the Royal Palace.

Fu Linjun also heard about what happened in the court.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you handed over the matter of revising the law to Lord Ning?"

Chang Yuan smiled slightly, not annoyed, "It reached your ears so quickly?" ”

Fu Linjun pretended to be angry, "What, Your Majesty suspects that the concubine has eyes and ears in the court?" ”

"No, no, Madame thinks too much, it's just a joke."

Chang Yuan himself sometimes brings things to discuss with Fu Linjun, so naturally he doesn't care if Fu Linjun knows about the affairs in the court.

"There's such a thing, Lord Ning is fine, but he always likes to hide, so I have to find something for him to do."

Fu Linjun smiled: "Isn't it good for Lord Ning to be like this?" You don't have to worry too much about doing your job well, such a peaceful and self-serving courtier, others can't ask for it. ”

Having said that, but looking at Ning Changrong's cautious look, Chang Yuan was still angry.

"The courtiers on the side are cautious because they are afraid of the king's suspicion, what does Lord Ning mean by this? Can I still be stingy with him? Sometimes I really want him to change his temperament with Bai Yunliang. ”

Fu Linjun said: "If the two of them really change their temperaments, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep again." ”

This is what Fu Linjun said, so Chang Yuan would not be angry.

"Your Majesty, no one is perfect, don't frighten Lord Ning."

Chang Yuan smiled: "It was this little girl from Gu'an who reported to you, right?" ”

Fu Linjun did not deny it, "She has a good relationship with Xixi, and when she saw that Xixi's father was embarrassed by you, she asked me to intercede." ”

Chang Yuan laughed, "These two girls can really play together, and they don't follow the rules." ”

Gonggong Li has been waiting by the side, and every time the emperor and queen talk, six times out of ten they are talking about the Ning family.

In addition to lamenting the deep affection between the son and the queen today, every time is a refresh of Gonggong Li's favor for the Ning family.
